How can I set up a mailing list or online forum with encrypted traffic?

I don' think there's an out-of-the-box solution for this one so far. if there is, I'd be very interested in it myself. one low-tech solution would be using SSL. set up a dedicated machine that talks on smtps, but not on the normal smtp (which makes sure your inbound traffic is encrypted). the listmails are send EXCLUSIVELY to local users, who can read them via an IMAP server which also doesn't allow unencrypted access. of course, that may not be feasable if you're talking about an open forum, where readers come and go all the time, but you sounded like you had a more closed target audience.
